  1. Remove goat cheese from packaging and place on a serving platter. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes to take the chill off.

  3. In a small bowl, toss the figs and pistachios together to mix.
  4. Spoon the fruit and nut mixture generously over the top and sides of the cheese block, pressing gently to adhere.

  6. Serve immediately with crackers or toasted baguette slices.

Notes

Soak figs in warm water for 10 minutes if they are too hard.
